“…Previous studies have shown that pain catastrophizing has a stronger correlation with mental components of health when compared to physical components (Severeijns, Vlaeyen, van den Hout, & Weber, 2001). Interestingly, however, we found no significant associations between our general measure of catastrophizing and physical aspects of health, a result that contrasts with other studies (AgarWilson & Jackson, 2012;de Boer, Struys, & Versteegen, 2012;Ferreira-Valente et al, 2011;Kendell, Saxby, To prevent inflation of alpha levels due to multiple testing, Bonferroni corrections were applied at each block; the *.05 and **.01 confidence levels were divided by the number of predictors in that block. Results show standardized betas Wong et al, 2011).…”

There’s More Than Catastrophizing in Chronic Pain: Low Frustration Tolerance and Self-Downing Also Predict Mental Health in Chronic Pain Patients

Among the potential range of irrational beliefs that could be used as predictors of physical and mental health, catastrophizing is the process that has received most attention in chronic pain research. Other irrational processes such as demandingness, low frustration tolerance, and self-downing have rarely been studied. The goal of this study was to explore whether this wider range of beliefs is associated with health in chronic pain patients beyond catastrophizing. A total of 492 chronic pain patients completed a measure of irrational beliefs, a measure of physical and mental health, and a numerical rating scale designed to assess pain intensity and interference. Irrational processes were more strongly associated with mental than with physical health. Low frustration tolerance and self-downing were found to be significantly related to mental health even after controlling for the effect of catastrophizing. Processes other than catastrophizing appear to have potentially important relationships with the mental health of people with chronic pain. These results may offer new intervention targets for practitioners.

“…While increasing age is commonly associated with greater functional disability (Hebert, Brayne, & Spiegelhalter, 1997;Rathouz, Kasper, & Zeger, 1998), our results indicated greater functional disability in the younger rehabilitation sample. This result is expected given that rehabilitation patients usually report pain following joint replacement surgery, particularly when undergoing daily physiotherapy exercise (Kendell et al, 2001) and joint pain would lead to greater perceived functional disability. Therefore, despite being older, the community-dwelling sample reported significantly lower levels of functional disability than the younger hospital sample.…”

A psychosocial model of functional disability

With advancing age, many older adults are vulnerable to a decline in physical functioning. Functional disability has been shown to affect the subjective well-being of the individual, and has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Social support is commonly assumed to protect people from the experience of psychological distress and enhance well-being. Other studies have demonstrated that satisfaction with social support, rather than the frequency with which support was received, is a powerful predictor of self-reported health status. The present study tests a psychosocial model of functional disability in two elderly populations (61 years of age and older): 178 seniors living in the community (136 females and 42 males) and 168 in-patients in a rehabilitation hospital following total hip and knee arthroplasty (118 females and 50 males). Predictors of functional disability were age, gender, and satisfaction with support. In this model, functional disability, with its related loss of independent functioning, was expected to lead to depression. Results indicated that the two samples differed slightly. Specifically, the elderly in the community sample were significantly older than the rehabilitation patients, whereas the hospital sample reported greater functional disability and were more satisfied with their social relations than the community-residing elderly. Results of path analysis in both samples showed that women reported more functional disability than men and satisfaction with support was associated with lower functional disability. Furthermore, functional disability led directly to depression in both samples. Practical implications for the maintenance and enhancement of daily functioning, as well as well-being in later life are discussed.Since people in general are living longer than in the past, the elderly population is growing, and functional disability associated with increasing age is a growing concern. Functional disability refers to the inability to perform basic self-care Send correspondence to

“…For example, studies have shown that patients who catastrophize have higher levels of disability, 71 higher rates of health care usage, 28 longer hospitalizations, 29 increased pain medication usage, 38 and higher levels of motor pain behaviors, 48 and they take longer to reach rehabilitation milestones during surgical recovery. 53 Most of the findings regarding catastrophizing have been obtained in samples of patients with persistent pain drawn from pain clinics, specialized pain treatment programs, or medical/surgical clinics. Is pain catastrophizing a useful concept in understanding pain in individuals drawn from the general population?…”

Psychological factors associated with short‐term recovery from total knee replacement

Abstract: As suggested by previous studies, coping style and locus of control appear to be important in the rehabilitation process. The current data suggest that psychological variables could be usefully included in a pre-operative assessment for total knee replacement.
